Team Nightmare

Welcome to Team Nightmare, the darkest team on Serebii.

War Director: rayray22

Zek is in charge of all artwork that will be shown on this team's thread. Zek can make you whatever you really want if you just ask him.

Standard Clauses:

Sleep Clause
You can't use sleep inducing moves on opponent's Pokémon when there's another Pokémon in his/her team asleep. Yawn can't be used to PseudoHaze (make opponent switch) when there's another Pokémon asleep caused by you.

Brightpowder, Focus Band, King's Rock, Lax Incense, Quick Claw, Razor Fang, Razor Claw, Scope Lens, Lansat Berry, Stick and Lucky Punch.

That may be the best thing to do now that it's open. Keep it active. Maybe we should do like weekly tourneys. Like one week ou, uu, nu, mix tier, roulette, little cup, challenge cup, double/triple matches, etc. That should help us stay active.

i just had my first ou battle in a few days i won 5-0,i set up reflect,and light screen with jirachi,and it was pretty easy to win after that,im going to make an uu,nu team later and test it out, If anyone wants to battle in ou,uu,nu tomorrow let me.

I had 20 battles on PO today, and went 15-5 with a new team. It's pretty good. 4-5 losses were stupid that I got critted on and should have won. One loss was a 3-0, the rest were 1-0. The 3-0 guy had the same team as me, but with one exception so it was just weird to play my team basically.

Yeah it's never fun playing you're own team haha. Also when we start this tournament thing with different tiers i'll be participating in Ou, UU, Nu, the others i'm not a big fan of and actually tried just to find i didn't like them.

With that being said i want to thank everyone who was kind enough to join the team and help me and FR3SH put this team together!

Also if anyone would like to help me build a team it would be greatly obliged as i have been doing pretty bad in battling lately. I find 5th gen pokemon to be very frustrating haha.

Also i'm sure fresh would agree with this when i ask you guys what kind of tournament you would want, i'm thinking we should let you guys choose for the first one just to get in the feel of it.

I find 5th gen OU annoying at times because it seems the OU pokes from gen 5 are stronger then gen 4 pokes for the most part which is dumb. In the lower tiers however I think gen 5 added some much needed adversity, which is much better for the lower tiers imo.
